Abstract
AbstractRecently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as the cathode materials for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) received growing attention. Herein, a novel MOF, Ni‐Ndi‐trz (Ndi‐trz=2,7‐di(4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐yl)benzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline‐1,3,6,8(2H,7H)‐tetraone) was synthesized through a solvothermal method. Its rational design using a naphthalene diimide (Ndi) core allowed the formation of a four‐fold interpenetrated pcu (primitive cubic) topology. The as‐synthesized Ni‐Ndi‐trz is highly stable over a wide pH range (0–12) for 30 days, which is critical to ensure the decent cyclability of zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs). When used as the cathode material of ZIBs, it shows a high initial specific capacity of 90.7 mAh g−1 and excellent cycling stability. Remarkably, three‐electrode system tests, ex situ FTIR, UV/Vis and XPS spectra revealed that the Ndi core of Ni‐Ndi‐trz undergoes a reversible interconversion between the keto and enol forms when interacting with Zn2+ ions. This work may shed light on the feasibility of designing novel MOFs and exploring their mechanisms for zinc ion batteries.
